Keep Normally Division I team seasons are considered notable. There most certainly would be plenty of off-line sources for the 2004 season to establish notability and pass
WP:GNG. The lack of online sources presently available is not an issue for me in this case. Personally I wouldn't create a season article for the program, but that's personal taste more than anything else.
WP:NSPORTS does not apply because that is a guideline for individuals and not for seasons or events. I can find no policy or guideline reason to delete the article.--

As I noted before, NCAA Division I football programs (especially FBS or "Division I-A" programs) tend to pass notability standards, including
WP:EVENTCRIT. We can look specifically at the phrase "widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources" and realize that this team played #4 LSU, #17 Mizzou, and traveled to Idaho among its other games. Two ranked teams playing the same team are often used for comparisons in the voting process for the various polls plus the coverage of even just those two games would have spanned from ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and a large number of other regional and local outlets. We're looking at nationwdie exposure at that point (which is expected for a Div I program) These also would be enough to pass
WP:GNG as a stand-alone notability achievement. That these articles haven't been archived online as of yet is no suprise to me.--
